Simeone discovers his Joao Félix at home: Fernando Torres has a diamond

The red-and-white club is keeping a close eye on Fernando Torres' new star

Atlético de Madrid is experiencing a real revolution in its youth system. Rayane Belaid, a young talent of 19 years old under the orders of Fernando Torres, has begun to shine with his own light. Under the watchful eye of Diego Pablo Simeone , the forward is consolidating himself as a promise and a diamond in the rough.

Rayane stands out in the match against Zamora

In a recent match against Zamora, Rayane Belaid showed his full potential. Although he only played the second half, it was enough to stand out. In the first few minutes, he scored a great goal from outside the box that left everyone impressed.

In addition to the goal, Rayane demonstrated his ability to create opportunities. In several plays, he forced the opposing goalkeeper to make outstanding interventions. His ability to finish and assist was evident in every action.

The importance of Rayane for Atlético de Madrid

Rayane Belaid has not only shone for Atlético B. His performance in the European Under-19 Championship with Spain has also been outstanding. Although he was unable to play the entire competition due to a red card, he was a key part of the team's title win.

At Atlético de Madrid , Rayane already had his chance last season. He made his debut in Primera RFEF and was a prominent figure in Fernando Torres' youth team. His ability to score goals and his vision of the game have made him a valuable asset.

The promising future under the command of Fernando Torres

Fernando Torres, the current manager of Atlético B , has recognised Rayane's talent. Under his tutelage, the young striker is set to be a key figure in the team. Torres has shown confidence in the potential of the youth player and hopes that he will continue his rise.

With a contract until 2027, Rayane has a bright future ahead of him. His technical quality, good footwork, and ability to get into the penalty area are qualities that have captured the attention of fans and the coaching staff.

Simeone attentive to everything

Simeone is always attentive to the youth team and has demonstrated this with cases such as Pablo Barrios. The recent Olympic champion made the jump from youth to the first team, thanks to Cholo's trust.

The Argentine has many young players from the youth team train with the first team every year, so that they gain confidence and experience. If Rayane shows the level he has, Simeone will not hesitate to give him a chance in top-level football.
